Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted March 26, 2018 Administrators Share Posted March 26, 2018 When you first start up the router you'll go through the setup wizard which will detect your Internet Type. It should then either input the details automatically or allow you to put the PPPoE information in manually and that's it! I've moved this to XR500 section also.

N3CR0 Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 If you are using the BT Hub, you shouldn't need to enter PPPoE settings... I think. I too am on BT Infinity 1 but I use a Draytek Vigor 130 instead of the BT equipment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIG__DOG Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Yeah Its the bt home hub 5 thanks for claricstion guys much appreciated No, the hub 5 handles the pppeo connection for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pollutionblues Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 No, the hub 5 handles the pppeo connection for you. Nice one BD. It’s been years since I last used a Homehub, I was thinking about setting up the Openreach modem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG__DOG Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Nice one BD. It’s been years since I last used a Homehub, I was thinking about setting up the Openreach modem. The openreach modem is just a modem, no config or pppoe login required but you would then have to use pppoe login on the router to establish a connection.

xlr8r Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 thats the setup is have; BT Openreach (unlocked) HG612 modem - bridged XR500 - PPPoE I get full download speeds as reported by the modem stats, so the XR500 is doing its job well with PPPoE. ps. these are my settings; pps. DNS is optional - i use it so i can set filtering up better for my kids to use when online. (and its free!) Click OpenDNS (or google it) Dont forget to set Connection Mode and Idle timeout settings (as shown below) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RL317 Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 The openreach modem is just a modem, no config or pppoe login required but you would then have to use pppoe login on the router to establish a connection. Sorry for the bump guys but just had a quick question that's related. Hey BD, I just got a HG612 to replace a TP Link VDSL modem (it had a short power supply cable and wasn't convenient due to the location of my wall socket and power sockets). Am I right in thinking the setup will be just the same, and that I simply need to plug a cable between the HG612 LAN1 port to the R1 WAN port and then enable PPPoE in the WAN tab of the R1? It's an unlocked HG612 so I can access the GUI. Do I need to check or change any settings on the interface? I've noticed on a video guide that there are settings tabs like 'advanced' etc. Do I need to set up the correct VLAN ID, sync type etc, or somehow get it into bridge mode manually? I've read that the HG612 can handle DHCP and whatnot so I want it running as a modem only for the "cleanest" setup possible, with the R1 handling everything it should. Thanks in advance.
